Fixed it. 1/4" AR-450 should do the trick.
I bet that’ll work well, bro. Sometimes, at work, I build these mine shaft openings out of AR-500. They last for years of getting pummeled with 5000 pound granite boulders.
Once a year, I pull off my full belly pan setup and put it on the press at work to reshape. Then I blast and zinc prime everything. This year I thought about welding stiffeners on the inside of one of my skids. You might consider that in the future.
I built this little diff slider a couple months ago and immediately bent the pinion guard. Took it off and welded a 1/2” plate flat on the inside and smashed it again. No bend. Once again, doubling up the plates is a good idea.
PS, I could give a fuck about skid plates making my Jeep heavy
